The outside of a round swimming pool is 40ft. How far is it to swim from the center to the outside?

20ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is 40ft. You are starting at the perimeter of the pool swimming inward, you will have to swim half of that distance to reach the center.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

answer4 to the second power is 16

and 4 to the third power is 64,
